Rhianna Williams (RCC #19779) holds a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology and an undergraduate degree in Child and Youth Care.
Originally from the West Kootenay region of British Columbia, Rhianna grew up in a family that experienced significant adversity, fostering a deep appreciation for community, resilience, and the importance of supportive relationships. Her professional path began with a desire to engage in meaningful, values-driven work while developing a deeper understanding of the people, places, and experiences that shaped her early life.
Before becoming a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Rhianna spent more than a decade working as a Youth and Family Outreach Counsellor and Youth Care Worker within public health and nonprofit settings. Today, her clinical practice focuses on supporting individuals, couples, and parents in creating healthier relationships with themselves and others.
WORK WITH PARENTS
Becoming a parent is one of life’s most significant and transformative experiences. Parenting can be especially challenging in a time marked by information overload, social media comparisons, financial pressures, and reduced access to extended family and community support. Many parents find themselves overwhelmed and stretched beyond capacity.
Rhianna approaches parent coaching through a family systems, developmental, and attachment-based lens. Drawing on her extensive experience supporting youth and families, she incorporates practical tools from Positive Discipline Parenting to help reduce power struggles, strengthen parent-child relationships, and support children in becoming responsible, respectful, and resourceful individuals.
WORK WITH COUPLES
Rhianna’s passion for working with couples is rooted in both professional and personal experience. Through her work as a Youth Care Worker, she observed that lasting change is often difficult when the systems surrounding individuals remain unchanged. Supporting couples and parents became a natural extension of her commitment to promoting child, youth, and family well-being.
Her work with couples integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, combining practical relationship tools with deeper process-oriented work. This approach helps couples improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, reduce conflict, and create more secure and nurturing relationships.
WORK WITH INDIVIDUALS
Rhianna’s work with individuals focuses on meeting clients where they are and supporting them in becoming more connected, resilient, and authentic versions of themselves.
Common areas of focus include:
Anxiety
Depression
Neurodivergence, including ADHD
Addictive behaviours
Interpersonal conflict
Attachment challenges
Life transitions
Reparenting and childhood trauma
Grief and loss
Rhianna offers both in-person and virtual sessions. Her practice is grounded in a biopsychosocial, attachment-based, and trauma-informed approach. Depending on the needs of each client, she may draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Structural Family Therapy, Nature-Based Therapy, and Positive Discipline Parenting.
ACCESSIBILITY
Rhianna is committed to making mental health care as accessible as possible. She partners with a variety of counselling assistance funds and Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), including Whistler and Sea to Sky Community Services, PearlSpace, CVAP, the Vail Employee Assistance Program, and the Squamish Nation.
